Recommended Posts

Hey I looked around and noticed alot of seriouse posts around so I decided to make a thread that had a bit of humor possible in it. I was looking around the boards and noticed alot of interesting screen names. I was wondering what were your stories behind these names, such as was there something that made you want that name? Anything embaressing, funny, stupid, nick name, etc. (I'm not sure if this was already made if it was then well just tell me and I'll be glad to delete this all together!)

Heh. Truthfully, mine came from Sailor Moon. Made it up a long time ago. Got bored, and started thinking about if Naoko (the creator) had ever thought of doing something where Queen Serenity was a teenager. Started an idea. Shortened down "Serenity" (which is Usagi, and Rini's name too) to "Serene" and added on "Tuscumbia" as a variation to "Tsukino", and thus Serene Tuscumbia was born. Then, one day, I was logging into a chat, and misspelled Serene as Sere. Thus, I became Sere Tuscumbia, and it's stuck for me. Plus, I love the look on people's faces when they try to spell/pronounce "Tuscumbia". It's priceless.

To clear a few things up: Sere Tuscumbia -- Ser (think "hair" with an s instead of a h) e (long e. you know, ee sounding) Sere. Tus (think "tusk" without the k) cum (don't be getting ideas where I came up with this name, you sick minded rubber duckies. Think "come") b (think "bee") ia (think "uh") Tuscumbia. Good for you. Now you know how to pronounce my name properly. (Not my real name mind you. If you want to know that, look in that secrets thread. It should be near the end)

If you didn't get that, then I can't do anything for you but find a way to meet you and say it verbally. Good luck and have fun staring at the insane way I do things.

*edit* Cera has a good point. I've had a lot of questions for my AIM name (LaraC1147) Well, here goes. LaraC=Lara Croft. I'm a big Tomb Raider fan. Always will be. 11=I was eleven when I created the screen name. Now it just fits with 47. Which reminds me . . . 47=An inside joke if you've watched Star Trek Voyager. There's a 47 somewhere in each episode. So I just had to add 47.

[size=1]Just because I have a boring screename here doesn't mean I'm not creative other places....

Random SN's on my list:

[b]KaliumH20[/b]--> Kalium=Potassium=highly volatile substace that reacts with water. [h20]
[b]dysfunctionalspacebar[/b]-->My space bar at the time was somewhat less than 100% efficient.
[b]Pink Marshmallow Heathen[/b]-->Kirby, what else?

I have others, those are some of the more amusing ones that I think none of you will recognize.[/size]

[color=009966]I get the name "Kool_aid" because I once got red streaks in my hair(not bright red. It was more of a natural color red), and everyone said it looked like kool aid even though it wasn't. First my sisters called me Kool Aid, then even people at school called me that. Well, I signed up here last year as Kool_aid, but-stupid me-I put the wrong e-mail address, so my activation code was lost in cyber-space. So, I re-registered, but this time as Kool_aid13.[/color]

Well its half of a roleplay character put with "Peacecraft" because I was a little too obsessed with GW at the time. The actual Characters name is Yorimitsu Mushigori.

other Screen Names:

Narius: one of those ones that just pops into your head.
Defect: Heh, I like the word what can I say?
Manic Delusion: Depressing view of the world at large creates names like this, never get so cynical as to make your name show your disgruntled attitude, it never helps Oo.

I dunno... I guess it's my bad luck that whenever we need to make a new username, I tend to be brain-fried, and make up something stupid and difficult to type....
I'd really like to have my name changed to AJeh whenever the username change option is done

AJ...my initials, 2K1, what I had the last decent drawings I had signed as.. and I guess I felt at the time it was my most decent ever.. so the 4 Life just blended in...

Anyway, I was Simply AJ, and AJ before that, and AJ2K1 aka MSB before that. If you want a real difficult name though, try ZF AJ2K1 aka MegaSaiyanBrolly :-p

[/b]Excuse my longwinded nonsense-ey post. It's 3:42AM and I have no idea what I'm saying..[/size]

My name pretty much comes from Green Day's CD "Nimrod". I used to wear a Green Day shirt with the title on the front and some people called me Nimrod for a couple days. It's the closest thing I've ever had to a nickname, so I just decided to use it after I discovered I couldn't get my old name back after being banned. I didn't really care since I didn't like my old name anyway.

This is kinda hard for a guy to admit...

I got my name from Sailormoon. :o
A few years back in a WebTV chat room, I wanted to be Tuxedo Mask, but every variation of the name was already taken. I remembered that Tuxedo Mask is called "King Endymion" in his next life, so I made my screen name [b]King_Endymion[/b].

After realizing several SM characters got their names from Greek myths, I looked up Endymion and found out he was a handsome guy (ranked right up there with Adonis and Narcisis) who married the demi-goddess Selene and fell into an eternal sleep (with Selene watching over him forever.)

I thought the story was kool, so I dropped the "king" and I've been [b]Endymion[/b] ever since.

My other screen names are [b]Webb[/b] (which is my real name) and [b]Manic-Hedgehog[/b] (Sonic The Hedgehog's drum-playing brother from "Sonic Underground")

I could have swore this was done before....

I write a lot. Most I consider crap, so I don't put it up, but a lot of it cotains a society called the Dark Order. There are many statures in the Dark Order. I thought the Knight was the coolest sounding, so DarkOrderKnight was created. Actually when I sighed up I wanted KnightOfTheDarkOrder but it was too long.

If you want a little more insight into the Dark Order please take a look at the sign-up thread to my failed RPG "The Dark Order".

I don't think I can even count how many times I've answered this question before, but here goes...

Angewomon is my favourite Digimon, but just "Angewomon" was too plain. Hence, I added "Gold" in front of it, and voila! G_A is born.

[color=indigo]Yes, this has been done before, but not for quite awhile, so I think it's okay.

As for my username, there's not much of a story behind it. Pretty much, I was looking for a good name to use, and I started looking through some Zelda-related stuff, since I'm a big Zelda fan. I saw the name "Desbreko," which happens to be a large, skeletal fish in Zelda: Majora's Mask. I liked the name and I liked where it came from, so I decided to use it as the last name of my screen name, "Drake Desbreko." I mostly just go by Desbreko, though, since I don't like having to type both the first and last name. As for the "Drake" part, I came up with that name for my character in the first RPG that I joined, and it's just sort of stuck with me. So now I go by the name of Drake Desbreko in RPGs, and just Desbreko elsewhere.[/color]

[color=indigo]My name just sort of popped into my head for no particular reason. A lot of random stuff tends to do that in my head. Why, just yesterday I wrote a spooky piece of music (it's true I tell you!). But nothing ever rhymes much...

But I think I got this name because I am the quiet sort of person who don't really belong in any group. So to most people I'm like a 'passer-by'. Thus the 'Past-by-er'.

I figured that out about 2 months after I first signed up. Talk about random...[/color]

[color=blue][size=1]Let me think...oh yeah, the monkey part of my name comes from the fact that I'm obsessed with monkeys (they are just so cool:p) and the saiyan part is from, well it was the first thing I thought of that went with the monkey part. Now I wish I'd chosen a name that can be shortened. Saiyan_monkey must be annoying to type out.[/size][/color]

I used about 3 nick for most of My internet life. I used circee for a long time, then everyone though I was a girl, so I masculinized ir last year.

Circee (sp?) is a greek woman magician appearing in Ulyss' odysssey.

I also used Jeansebaste on Ezboard, Which is a variation over my real name.

Not as annoying as Deus_Ex_Machina is to type whenever I have to log in.. so I see why most people just call me Deus...

Anyway.. my name comes from a few places..

Firstly.. I love Deus Ex (the game)
Secondly.. I eventually realised that Deus Ex was actually part of the latin term "Deus Ex Machina"

I eventually found out what Deus Ex Machina means, but I've done that far to many times to bother again, so just look ;). Anyway.. the name has kind of stuck...

I have a new AOL name though: "NutBallManDamner".. that's much more simple. One day, me and my brother were taking turns to say random stuff and I blurted out "DAMN YOU NUT-BALL MAN!!!"

[font=gothic][color=crimson]The Harlequin comes from back before Raven and I got together, and were simply playing mind games with each other. I was in the midst of manipulating her into thinking assorted things about me (some call it lying I believe), and I mentioned the word. She started calling me a "funny little dancing man" from then on, and it kind of stuck. I use the Eldritch Harlequin because I like the word eldritch, and on MSN or whatever, I'm quite partial to the immortal name:

"Throw me that lemon, I'll spit on your dog"

I believe that also had something to do with a bizarre conversation between Raven and I...[/font][/color]
